3. Who We Serve

DTK Nail Supply serves three distinct customer groups with one wholesale catalog:

• Home-Studio Owners (~50% of our customer base) — independent nail artists running 1-3 chair studios from a home setup. Often serving 5-20 repeat clients per week. Need curated starter kits, smaller volume per SKU, and free-ship thresholds that work for solo operators. We build custom kits to match the specific service menu (Cat Eye specialty, Builder Gel overlay, Gel-X press-on, dipping, etc.).
• Vietnamese-American Salon Owners (~30% of our base) — established salons running 5-15 chairs in Vietnamese-American communities across the US. The traditional core of our customer base since 2018. Multi-brand buyers who stock LDS for everyday volume, A'DOR for clean-beauty tier, Lavis for trend services, and major brands like DND and OPI for premium client requests. Net-15 wholesale terms standard.
• DIY Clean-Beauty Consumers (~20% of our base) — at-home enthusiasts focused on HEMA-free clean beauty for personal use and small gift-giving. Drawn to A'DOR's 280 affordable HEMA-free shades and Lavis's trend-forward color stories. Free ship $100+ direct-to-consumer.

DTK Nail Supply is a B2B-first wholesale distributor. We are not a retail nail salon ourselves, not a beauty school, not a marketing agency, and not a real estate or staffing service — we focus exclusively on supplying high-quality professional nail products to working salons, studios, and consumers.

4. Why Salons Choose DTK

Three things make DTK Nail Supply different from generic wholesale nail distributors:

Net-15 Wholesale Terms for Verified Pros

Verified salon and home-studio accounts qualify for Net-15 payment terms on orders meeting our $500 minimum opening order. Account approval takes 24 hours. Volume tier discounts apply automatically: 1-49 units at MSRP, 50-149 at -8%, 150-499 at -12%, and 500+ at -15%. Net-15 helps salons manage cash flow between client services and supply restocking.

Curated Multi-Brand Catalog (Not Everything — Just What Works)

Most wholesale distributors stock everything regardless of quality or sell-through. DTK curates. We carry the bestseller SKU in each sub-category plus 2-3 alternative price tiers — premium for client-facing services, value for back-of-house essentials. One supplier, one freight, one invoice across the brands US salons actually use day-to-day.

Same-Day US Shipping + Free Ship $100+

Orders placed before our daily cutoff ship same-day from our San Jose warehouse via USPS, FedEx, and UPS. Free shipping on retail orders over $100. Wholesale free-ship threshold $1,000+ for verified Net-15 accounts.
